A grand spiral galaxy takes center stage in a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy, known as NGC 5643, is located roughly 40 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Lupus.

"In this paper, we present the discovery, in the Abell 2744 cluster field, of a two-armed, grand-design spiral galaxy, with a redshift of z ∼4, when the universe was only ∼1.5 billion years old.
